*Worst* 2nd in-person Omiai ~~~July 26, 2024

Okay, I know I haven't updated about the first "in-person" omiai yet, but I'm not really in the mood to go into depth after the day I had. All I'll say is that we both agreed to go out again this Sunday.

But omg, the omiai I had today. -___-

Well first let me just say that I had an eyelash appointment yesterday in Ginza and afterwards I walked to Prada to buy a new bottle of the perfume "Paradoxe". I wanted to mention this because I was excited for today's date and wanted to look and smell good......such a waste. Lol I'm kidding, I still would've done those things regardless.

 (⌒‐⌒)

So the omiai was with someone I was really looking forward to meeting.  He was Taiwanese and seemed great on paper and honestly, he was my first pick out of all the people who sent me applications. But the date... You see, this is why someone can sound good (or bad) on paper, but the impression can be very different once you meet them.

Anyway, he was about 10-15 minutes late because of traffic congestion, but it wasn't a problem because I had time to relax and calm myself down with a cold bottle of water before he arrived. When he finally showed up, he smiled at me, but he was wearing casual clothes, and almost immediately, I was turned off. I understand if you're late because you got dressed in a nice suit and did your hair, but that wasn't the case at all!

But I decided to stay because that's the polite thing to do. He was very handsome when I met him and very tall. I can tell he was very honest because on his profile it said he was 184 cm, but I always assumed I was 188 cm, and I was his height exactly. And no man will say he is shorter than he actually is. Taller, absolutely, but not shorter. Lol

Anyway, I don't want to get into too much detail because it would be such a long post if I did. But if you can imagine, he said and did all the wrong things. First, he asked me way too many questions about myself like I was being interrogated, and these weren't wholesome questions. It was more like "what can you do for me" type questions, which is just 😓🤢.

I don't think I've ever been so turned off in my life. First of all, I hate talking. I may talk a lot, but it is only because I don't feel comfortable with the man I'm with, and he isn't a leader type. So then I feel inclined to lead, which again makes me just 🤢. However, this guy talked a lot, but he was only talking because he was throwing out questions back to back.

Anyway, when the date ended, he asked to split the tea and coffee, and I said straight out "no". He said "okay, I'll pay," and he did. Then he tried to tell me how the agency is weird for hosting the dates at luxury hotel lounges, and I just kept walking. When we finally got to the front door, we thanked each other, and I told him I was getting a taxi, and he told me he drove, so we parted ways. As soon as he walked away, I pulled up the marriage app and immediately told my counselor I didn't want to move forward with him. Then I closed the app and got a taxi with the Go taxi app. Now I think it could've been because if culture differences. I never dated a Taiwanese man before, I've dated a man from mainland China but he was very much a masuline man and a provider. I met Taiwanese people when I visited and they were so sweet and lovely but dating....

This was me before the date:
